It looks really cool and since we already use Grafana it would be a good fit for us, but for on call purposes Slack isn't very useful. If we were to migrate from PagerDuty to this, we would need an app that can override do not distrub

He didn't say he was single. One can be a man in his 30s without kids and still not be single, not everyone want to have kids.

They're not allowed to make money from this Harry Potter fan-fiction IIRC, which this is (one that teaches effective altruism concepts and rationality), so I don't see how this would be a way to launder money. It's also worth

I second this, it changed how I think in way other books have not. How I look at life, death and problems in general. It sounds dramatic but it really did change my life. There is also an excellent and free audio book here: https:/&#x

I haven't read it so I'm curious, what makes you say that? Is the book concluding things that are wrong because of this?

Follow this advice and you'll increase your chances of growing older increases quite a lot, and you'll stay healthier in your older years as well. There is only so far these things can take us though. A lot of (but still too littl

Okay thanks, I think I understand you better now! Helping people in developing countries and curing aging in not mutually exclusive the way I see it, they can be done in parallel. They also usually require very different skills and usually

Sure, death is. But biological aging is something we probably can solve so if that gives us 30 more healthy years that's great! We might not end up as immortals but doesn't mean it's pointless to try to live a longer and heal

The surprise comes from all the resources we put on solving deceases that are caused by aging. Why not solve the root cause? That's where I and many others are surprised. > For example, if someone who is poor, disenfranchised, has

I might be misunderstanding what you're trying to say, do you mean that because the previous generation had it worse we shouldn't strive to improve things even more?

Not dying from aging in not the same as being immortal though. You could still die from a car accident for example, and there is of course the option to kill oneself (even if I'd consider that a tragedy.) This is if biological aging co

It's usually implied that it would also increase the healthspan, rather than prolonging suffering. Aging itself isn't something you die from, you die from age related deceases. By living longer (eg. slowing down aging) it usually

Seems like many people are new to this concept and feel skeptical so here are some useful resources: * Kurzgesagt: How to Cure Aging – During Your Lifetime? (7:20) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjdpR-TY6QU * Kurzgesagt: W

Correct! Usually people imply extending both healthspan and lifespan when they talk about longevity.

by DrRobinson 6y ago
The idea isn't that people will live in that fragile and unhealthy state even longer, the idea is to also extend how long we're healthy. Imagine being as healthy as a 30 year old when you're 70 for example. This is often also

I think what OP means is rather than trying to fix deceases one by one, why aren't we focusing more on the root cause (aging)? This seems like a much more efficient way of solving many of these things. There are a bunch of initiatives

I don't really see the point of this argument, isn't this true for basically _all_ water usage?
